f. Further tighten by 90 degrees. (Angle tightening)
Check the tightening angle by referencing to the notches. The
angle between two notches is 90 degrees.
15. Rotate crankshaft pulley in normal direction (clockwise when viewed from engine front) to confirm it turns
smoothly.
16. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.
Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .
Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may gen-
erate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this does not indicate an unusualness.
Noise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.
Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.
Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.
Summary of the inspection items:
* Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

4. Crank the engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out
from intake valve timing control cover oil hole. End crank after
checking.
WA R N I N G :
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive belt, idler pul-
ley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
Engine oil may squirt from intake valve timing control sole-
noid valve installation hole during cranking. Use a shop
cloth to prevent the engine components and the vehicle. Do
not allow engine oil to get on rubber components such as
drive belt or engine mount insulators. Immediately wipe off
any splashed engine oil.
Clean oil groove between oil strainer and intake valve timing control solenoid valve if engine oil does not
come out from intake valve timing control cover oil hole. Refer to LU-24, "
LUBRICATION SYSTEM" .
5. Remove components between intake valve timing control solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT),
and then check each oil groove for clogging.
Clean oil groove if necessary. Refer to LU-24, "LUBRICATION SYSTEM" .
6. After inspection, install removed parts.

Valve ClearanceNBS004PB
INSPECTION
In cases of removing/installing or replacing camshaft and valve-related parts, or of unusual engine conditions
due to changes in valve clearance (found malfunctions during starting, idling or causing noise), perform
inspection as follows:
1. Remove rocker covers (right and left bank). Refer to EM-199, "
ROCKER COVER" .

Separation Work
1. Install engine slingers into front of cylinder head (left bank) and
rear of cylinder head (right bank).
2. Remove engine mounting insulators (RH and LH) under side nut with power tool.
3. Lift with hoist and separate engine and transmission assembly from front suspension member.
CAUTION:
Avoid damage to and oil/grease smearing or spills onto engine mounting insulator.
4. Remove alternator. Refer to SC-23, "
CHARGING SYSTEM" .
5. Remove starter motor. Refer to SC-10, "
STARTING SYSTEM" .
6. Separate engine from transmission assembly. Refer to AT-271, "
TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY" .
7. Remove engine mounting insulators (RH and LH) and brackets (RH and LH) from engine with power tool.
8. Remove rear engine mounting member and engine mounting insulator (rear) from transmission.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Do not allow engine mounting insulator to be damage and careful no engine oil gets on it.
For a location with a positioning pin, insert it securely into hole of mating part.
For a part with a specified installation orientation, refer to component figure in EM-244, "Components" .
When installing engine mounting brackets (RH and LH) on cylin-
der block, tighten two upper bolts (shown as “A” in the figure)
first. Then tighten two lower bolts (shown as “B” in the figure).
NOTE:
Figure shows LH bank.
